Peppermint Meltaways Recipe

This recipe is very pretty and festive-looking on a cookie platter. I often cover a plate of these meltaways with red or green plastic wrap and a bright holiday bow in one corner. And yes, they really do melt in your mouth! —Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

"Excellent cookie. Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors! Two thumbs up! They literally melt in your mouth. I tried freezing them to use for Christmas cookie plates and was not happy with the result. They didn't 'meltaway' like they did before freezing. Still a new go-to recipe."

"Everyone liked these. I took 6 in. candy canes(3 of them) & put in zip bag & hit them with a hammer until finely crushed. When frosting cookies I dipped them upside down in the crushed candy I had put in small dish, even prettier than yours! They were a hit too! Enjoyed making some of your top 10 goodies this year!!"

"Oh where to start. Something is wrong with this recipe. These are not great. I read other reviews and reduced the amount of cornstarch and it was still too much. The cookies did NOT hold their shape at all. They flattened and spread together. They do melt in your mouth though, they melt into a floury paste that coats your mouth. Taste is not horrible, but not sweet enough and they leave an aftertaste that is not appealing."
